Description

Your browsing climate impact, made visible.

CarbonViz is an extension that makes visible the impact of our digital activities on our energy consumption and associated CO2 emissions. You can visualize live your data consumption and associated co2 emissions in your browser while browsing.

We all consume, day after day, data that transit through the Internet. Accessing this content online seems normal, obvious. But "online" means that this data travels, that it comes from somewhere to our favorite browser. This journey is not easy or free. Dematerialization is very expensive, in terms of resources, infrastructure and ultimately energy costs.
CarbonViz is tackling this problem by aiming to improve the perception and understanding of digital energy issues. To better represent this information, analogies were chosen in co-creation with concerned users.

CarbonViz aims to raise awareness of the cost generated by our daily use of the Web.

This app made me realize I was generating CO2 while on social networks doing nothing meaningful and that I should better use my time. My "innocent leisures" weren't that ecologically friendly.

The visualization of my co2 consumption in graphical form is informative. This allowed me to clearly see the carbon impact of a 4k video versus an HD video for example.

I love the animation and the cool real-life comparisons in the history sections. I was really surprised looking through the statistics how much data and Co2 I was generating!! Easy to use tool with interesting info on the impact of our planet.
